So, I feel I can confidently affirm much of what Charlotte was saying when she implies that....<br /><br />The 'new' atheism is simply a regurgitated mess of those philosphies which have been discarded time and time again over the years - for a whole host of reasons.<br /><br />'My' atheists always surprised to discover that I'm not an idiot (in their understanding I suppose), and that I have an ability to reason. They're even more surprised when I point them to sources who can do it much better than I.<br /><br />Anyways, the article was interesting.
